If the diagnostic imaging features are enabled in your Vetera, you can create diagnostic imaging referrals on the consultation page. The referral is sent from Vetera to the selected diagnostic imaging device's worklist.
Note: The consultation page is currently being updated. This article covers how to create a diagnostic imaging referral in both the old and new designs.
Go to the Diagnostic imaging section:
New design: Select + Add diagnostic imaging in the Diagnostic imaging section.
Old design: In the Diagnostic imaging section under Diagnostics, select the plus button to add a new referral.
In the dialog that opens, select the device you want to send the referral to from the Equipment list.
Select the target areas (parts of the animal that are to be imaged). Depending on your settings, either the basic workflow or the enhanced workflow options are available. Procedures are added to the consultation automatically based on the device and target area settings.
Basic workflow: Select the target area from the Selected diagnostic list. Use the plus button to add more target areas.
Enhanced workflow: Select a category from the list below the selected equipment. The subcategories and projections included in the category open to the right. Select the projections you want to include in the referral.
The consultation Veterinarian is automatically added, but you can change it if necessary. In addition, you can add Request remarks for the diagnostic imaging team in your clinic or hospital and select a planned Date and Time for the referral.
Under Referral remarks, you can select Text templates to insert a template, or use the Bring data dropdown to pull in existing information: Clinical notes, Procedure, Medicines, Foods, Supplies, or Laboratories.
Select Save to create and send the referral to the worklist. The referral arrives at the diagnostic imaging workstation or the diagnostic imaging device, and the team can continue with the actual imaging process. Images are usually automatically archived from diagnostic imaging devices.
After saving, you can view the referral in the Diagnostic imaging section on the consultation page.
New design: Select the three-dot menu at the end of the referral row and select Edit or Print or email.
Old design: Select the pen button to edit the referral. You can also print or email the referral and select the information you want to include.
